    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    Keep in mind that many religions - not just mainstream Christianity - require/request their adherents to cleanse themselves and dress appropriately, even if that is only in a ceremonial way. Paganism is quite difficult to define, so I won't begin here, but if you look at a broad mix of...

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    I know it, it's too bad. Here's a woodcarving Gustave Dore did representing the last time I went to church. I get such headaches when they kick me out!

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I know this is way off topic, but I often wonder at people's reaction to torture. Torture is torture, regardless of why it's perpetuated, against whom it's perpetuated, or by whom it's perpetuated. Torturing one man to save a thousand is still torture, and it's still sickening. Yet, I bring...

    Most depressing song you know?

    When I was in kindergarten, one of my classmates had leukemia and died that year; I think he was 5 when he passed. His favorite song was Puff the Magic Dragon, and so the whole class sang the song at his funeral. It actually chokes me a little to think about it. Definitely depressing.

    The lost art of dressing for the occasion

    I don't attend church either. However, I wear very little if I must attend. Maybe a bed sheet, or an old sack. It's a shame to lose fine clothes when you catch fire upon entering. ;)

    Clean Jokes

    Orville the farmer gets up in the middle of the night to answer the telephone. “Is this one one one one?”, says the voice. Orville says, “No, this is eleven eleven.” “Are you sure it isn’t one one one one?” Orville shakes his head and says, “No, this is eleven eleven.” “Well, wrong number...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    Quite right. Red lipstick is just make-up, and capris are just pants, and neither right or wrong. But when someone combines them with other details in such a way as to emulate a pin-up girl, it is certainly possible that Joe Hustler is going to objectify Sally Pinup. And maybe that's what she...

    Today's Pinup Fashion a Sly Wink to the Past - New York Times

    I would highly recommend reading (or re-reading) the article prior to further discussion as it seems you're going one direction while the discussion is travelling another. :rolleyes: This entire article draws comparison between porno of the 50's and porno today. The participants discuss how...

    Six rules for wearing fedoras

    Stitched fabric trilbies and wool hats had their place in the 1920's-1940's. Just sayin'. [huh] Although I kinda get what's going on in this article, it seems insincere at best and quite snobbish at worst.

    From the beginning of the article: "She found it one day while sifting through a trash container, where she unearthed a dog-eared 1950s Playboy. Inside were photographs of Bettie Page showing off the trademark cherry-tone lips and little-girl bangs that made her the most popular pinup of her...

    A question of funeral attire

    If you regularly wear bow ties at work or in social gatherings, then I gather you wouldn't be asking us this question. That in mind, I'd say skip the bow tie lest anyone think you're trying to draw attention to yourself. Otherwise, if you're just looking for a common set of rules, remember...

    The general decline in standards today

    A single drink will not impair one enough in split second decision making. Two drinks? Perhaps. The limit of .08 is about two drinks in an average person with average tolerance. Going out to eat and having two drinks throughout the night shouldn't bar someone from getting home. On the other...
